Judge gave them the biggest hint their case is a loser period.

Going to take parity to an even newer level than it already is.

Federal District Court Judge. Applies to the whole country, so trying to say he is a lowly judge shows you don't get it. And of course anything is possible but the odds are between slim and none on this . As for Congress that won't happen anytime soon either. They have been lobbying for months and are no closer than when they started.But I agree that is all that can save the NCAA to a point on some of this. Election year not gonna happen.

 

NCAA can change course themselves and work with the schools is the only fast way to get something done imo. But don't expect  that either. Who knows we all have our opinions and respect yours, just way disagree on the outcome.

None of these tweets support anything you are saying. They are speculating that the plaintiff may be successful in the litigation. If they are, then you will have a final verdict which might be appealed. Until that happens, you have nothing. Obviously, the temporary injunction applies to the entire country. But that’s all it is. A temporary injunction staying any enforcement action during the pendency of litigation. Full stop.  I think you are either overreading or not understanding what they are saying. I do agree that Bobby may be similarly misunderstanding the entire situation.

Dude the only one that doesn't understand is you. Of course it can be appealed etc. Read the tea leaves . I'll take lawyers that deal with this very subject routinely, and their opinions.As well as journalists that have been involved in this forever. 

You seem hurt the NCAA is about to lose this. I'm done with the argument and you can be the only guy in America that believes the NCAA will prevail.

Yes I understand the rules. And yes I understand the Tennessee AG is gonna fight this as far as necessary if it comes to that.The Supreme Court has already spoken on this to a degree with Cavanaugh's thoughts . Why am I even trying we will never agree. Carry on and enjoy the new offers about to go out from every Collective😂

Wow! I am sure saban had wind of this type of crap incoming and is another reason why he prolly retired. It’s a good thing Texas has some VERY deep pockets because we should be able to play the game to its fullest.

A challenging part will be balancing mental eval with financial offers. Aggie '22 class came apart because many committed for the wrong or unsustainable reasons. Highly paid mercenaries often turn out to be locker room cancers.

Sark & Co. push for ultra-talented and very smart student-athletes who want to play for Texas, not simply accept the highest offer. That may be harder to accomplish after this ruling, but I think in the long run it will continue to lead to more consistent and sustainable success. 

For those who think this is just some lowly judge, and it's temporary, and we don't know yet, etc., you must take into account the federal court system and the legal principal of precedent. Precedent is the key. The 2021 Supreme Court decision that opened NIL was very strongly worded. Justice Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion basically warning the NCAA that they had better change, and they better not come back to the federal judiciary trying to protect their monopoly (this is where the "anti-trust" stuff comes in). Thus, when the NCAA went after the Vols for the NIL payments to Nico during recruiting, all the legal experts immediately chimed in and said there is no way the NCAA can win this battle in court because the Supreme Court already told them no. This district judge from eastern Tennessee is merely following that precedent. It will stand: bet on it, mark it down, take it to the bank, however you want to describe it. It's over for the NCAA. They must accept this and try to adapt, or they will go the way of the dinosaurs. The only question of import left now is, "Should the SEC and Big 10 wait and see if the NCAA will get its act together?" Given the facts of NCAA long term and recent history, the answer to that question is no, and it's clearly time to move forward without them.

Will Texas be able to use more than the Texas One Fund to recruit? Does this ruling say anything about where the funds can come from?

No, there is nothing on that. As long as the system is "open," there will be no restrictions on where the money comes from. This is why you get all the caterwauling about "Wild West," "no guardrails." This is part of the reason why the SEC and Big 10 need to seriously consider breaking away from the NCAA and establishing their own rules. If they go to an employment model with contracts, they can begin to regulate things like agents, movement, etc.

If I had a vote, I say get the lawyering done this week and offers go out by the weekend. The law seems to be settling in this area: standard EOR-EEE law.
